[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ill never understand why people think coffee is 'unhealthy'. [/quote]

Many people drink it all day. It adds up to a lot of caffeine. They are addicts. And they sleep like crap and don’t understand why.  :roll: [/quote]
Well, caffeine addition is real. DH chugs soda all day long and then has this "I don't ever sleep" mantra... Gosh safe me! Of course you don't sleep, you just had Dr Pepper at 9 PM![/quote]

This was my DH for years. Would drink as much as a twelve pack of Dr. Pepper a day.  Then our son was diagnosed with ADHD and DH saw all these behaviors and traits he shares with DS and a lightbulb went off. Sure enough, undiagnosed ADHD. He had been self medicating for years. Saw an MD, did the testing, got a prescription and quit the Dr. Pepper cold turkey. And promptly dropped 20 pounds and probably saved himself from becoming diabetic.  My father would also down a 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke in one sitting, and still does. And I am 100% certain I got my ADHd from him. He’s just never been willing to admit there is a problem. Despite now being diabetic.

At any rate, your DH should be aware that downing large amounts of coffee or soda can be a sign you are self medicating ADHD. And that has a solution that doesn’t involve hundreds of grams of sugar a day. [/quote]
